Texas is just one week into the season, and it has already displayed its wealth of underclassmen who have earned starting spots and plentiful playing time. Yet, as the team dives headfirst into the toughest section of this year’s schedule, it will be a group of seniors that lead the way into pressure-packed matchups.

After Saturday night’s win against Louisiana Tech, Texas head coach Tom Herman said that freshman running back Jordan Whittington had aggravated his groin. The news Herman relayed to the media Monday was much worse.

Texas volleyball's talent was on display Sunday as the No. 4 Longhorns took down No. 14 USC at Gregory Gym. After a shaky start, the Longhorns were aggressive in their attack and made USC pay for any mistakes it made.

Texas pulls away in the fourth set after squeaking out close victories, at times relying on opponents’ mistakes. In the season opener, the Longhorns came through with a 3-1 win over the University of Northern Iowa.

With 32 on the back of every helmet, and a moment of silence prior to the season opener, the Longhorn faithful in attendance will feel Cedric Benson’s presence at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium one more time.
